For Labor Day, I went with Becky & the girls up into the Rocky Mountains. We stopped initially at Lair o’ the Bear Park, where Loyette had a grand old time running around, getting dirty in the mud, and getting soaked in the stream. Then we headed down Route 103 to Echo Lake (where we stopped for a picnic lunch) and Idaho Springs. The views were fantastic, as you can see from my new masthead (taken from this photo). Also:
And here are a couple of pictures showing the less grandiose, but still beautiful, views at Lair o’ the Bear:
Our day trip (actually a morning & early afternoon trip; we were back home in time for Loyette’s nap) capped off a busy three-day weekend, which also included a trip to the zoo on Saturday — followed by a whole lot of football watching, and chip-dipping courtesy of Becky’s yummy homemade salsa and guacamole — and a friend’s barbecue on Sunday. Fun times. Hope you all had a great holiday weekend, too!
P.S. Loyacita is eight weeks old today! Time flies.
